I am not teaching at the moment I am head of the English Dept in a K 12 bilingual school so I can connect you with the eigth form's teacher if you would like to get in touch with her.
I was born here in Buenos Aires and lived all my life here, I had the chance to study in an English school here too, then I went into teacher trainning college where I got my degree. I have worked in bilingual schools for almost 30 years and as head of dep for over 16!
This year we have started a very ambitious programme in school, some classrooms (5th, 7th & 8th forms) have interactive white boards and children come to class with their own Intel's classmates, we are thrilled with this possibility. It would be lovely to share some project with your 8th formers.
